 Rick Steves' Easy Access Europe: A Guide for Travelers with Limited Mobility by Ken Plattner & Rick StevesUntil now Rick Steves' books have focused on economic accessibility -- travel needn't be a rich person's hobby. With this book, he broadens that passion to include physical accessibility. Maybe you're a wheelchair user with an adventurous spirit. Or perhaps you're traveling with a partner who has limited mobility. Or you simply don't get around as well as you used to, but your sense of wanderlust refuses that rocking chair. This book is written for you. Rick has teamed up with a committed band of researchers -- led by Dr. Ken Plattner -- who care about those who face extra physical challenges. Together they've written this book to help guide slow walkers and wheelchair users through Europe. This book covers a handful of Europe's best and most accessible destinations: London, Paris, Bruges, Amsterdam, and Germany's Rhine River. Using core material from Rick's existing guidebooks, Ken and his helpers researched each location a second time for accessibility. As an extra bonus, the print is larger than in Rick's other guidebooks. Chapters cover: - Introduction: Tips on how to get the most out of this book; money, customs and red tape; transportation, eating and sleeping in Europe.
- Accessibility Resources and Tips: Planning your trip; getting to Europe; finding accessible tours; accommodations, parking, wheelchairs, restrooms; overcoming challenges.

- France: Paris sights, restaurants, accommodations and travel tips; Historic Paris and Champs-Elysees "roll or stroll" self-guided tours.
